I’ve been watching WWII in HD this week on the History Channel- some pretty amazing footage. The series is the result of a two-year, worldwide search that turned up hundreds of hours of rarely- and never-seen high-quality, color footage.

It’s very cool to see in such clarity what you’ve only seen for the rest of your life in grainy black & white-

The series continues 8-10pm through Friday-

I rewatched Wall Street-the movie- over the weekend. Good movie, especially now in the context of the financial crisis, etc. Saw on my way to lunch they’re filming Wall Street 2 on my office street-

Track of the month- James Pants, “Thin Moon” from his upcoming LP. I introduced this track to my co-worker DJ friend, who has been listening to it on repeat every night for the past 2 weeks.

More about James Pants via his MySpace: “James Pants is from Spokane. In Spokane there are lots of people with long fingernails and lots of dogs. In Spokane, rent is very, very cheap and so James Pants can afford to buy records and not work too awfully hard. A long time ago, James Pants started playing drums and marching in bands. After hitting cymbals for a while, James Pants bought cheap turntables and learned to scratch with Steppenwolf. Then James Pants started playing Cameo and his drums again and people danced a little. Now James Pants plays his new album and a few girls like it. “Mystical and enchanting,” is what people in Spokane say about it. Teenagers at the park like to dance and make-out to the new James Pants sound. “

Watched The Hurt Locker last night- definitely one of my picks for best of the year. Felt like one of the more realistic Iraq War movies I’ve seen- it focuses on a bomb squad and the whole movie has excellent timing- tons of suspense and the imminent feeling that something could explode at any time-
